Page 18 highlights

Installing System Memory (DIMMs) Your new motherboard has six 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots support 1GB, 2GB, 4GB DDR3 DIMMs. There must be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page 13 for the location of the memory slots.)  One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 1.  Two or Four DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 1 and 3. If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3.  Three DIMMs: If using 3 DIMMs (Triple Channel), install into: DIMM slots 1, 3 and 5.  Six DIMMs: If using more than 4 DIMMs, use: DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3 then proceed to occupy the following DIMM slots in this order: 5 and 6. DIMM Slot 2 DIMM Slot 1 DIMM Slot 4 DIMM Slot 3 DIMM Slot 6 DIMM Slot 5 Use the following procedure to install DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly. 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward. 2. Align the DIMM to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.

Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your new motherboard has six 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots
support 1GB, 2GB, 4GB DDR3 DIMMs. There must be at least one memory bank
populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for
installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page 13 for the location of the memory slots.)
One DIMM
: If using 1 DIMM (
Single Channel
), install into:
DIMM slot 1
.
Two or Four DIMMs
: If using 2 DIMMs (
Dual Channel
), install into:
DIMM
slots 1 and 3
. If using 4 DIMMs (
Dual Channel
), install into:
DIMM slots 2, 1,
4, and 3
.
Three DIMMs
: If using 3 DIMMs (
Triple Channel
), install into:
DIMM slots 1,
3 and 5
.
Six DIMMs
: If using more than 4 DIMMs, use:
DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3
then
proceed to occupy the following DIMM slots
in this order: 5 and 6.
Use the following
procedure to install DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap near the center of the
DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the DIMM to ensure the component is
installed properly.
1.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2.
Align the DIMM to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the
DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock
the DIMM into the connector.
